DIY Temperature Sensor Using Arduino and LM 35 Simple

Hi friends, Today we are going to build an temperature measuring sensor circuit around Arduino UNO microcontroller using a sensor LM35. So without wasting the time let's get started.

Teacher Notes

Teachers! Did you use this instructable in your classroom? Add a Teacher Note to share how you incorporated it into your lesson.

Step 1: Materials Required

1. Arduino UNO r3 board ( In local Electronic component store)

2. LM35 Temperature sensor

3. 16×2 LCD Module

4. 10 Kilo ohms potentiometer

5. Bread board

6. Wires for connection ( striped wires (RadioShack))

7. 220ohm Resistor

If you are ready with the above components let's get started..

Step 2: Make the Circuit

You may use the below schematic for making the connections

to the arduino board to the LCD module

Even then I'll mention the connections to be made:

LCD RS pin to digital pin 12

LCD Enable pin to digital pin 11

LCD D4 pin to digital pin 5

LCDD5 pin to digital pin 4

LCD D6 pin to digital pin 3

LCD D7 pin to digital pin 2

Additionally, wire a 10k pot to +5V and GND, with it's wiper (output) to LCD screens VO pin (pin3). A 220 ohm resistor is used to power the backlight of the display, usually on pin 15 and 16 of the LCD connector.

now if you are done with the wiring. lets move further

Step 3: Get Your Software

To get it work you have to use code above. Upload it to your Arduino using the integrated development environment,

In short IDE, which you can download from Arduino's official page and you are done !!
